How much are you able to get that for? Biotest's Grow! is $33 and free shipping via FedEx.

Sounds delicious.</p> <p>I have been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard for a bit now and I love it. Dirt cheap, mixes awesome, and can't complain about the taste - I usually go with one of the chocolate flavors. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=14#post-65 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:32:44 +0000 Ryan 65@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Hey just bought this after waiting forever.

Enriched wheat flour is the first ingredient (highest amount by weight). High fructose corn syrup is the 4th ingredient. A large amount of fructose isn't good for anyone (granted, one foot long isn't going to make you explode with fatness, but just keep it in mind if health is the first priority). Finally, are you eating this sub post workout? That's when carbs are stored the best in your body. Subway may be a decent choice if you're really in a pinch. I think a better choice would be two large chilis from wendys, hold the cheese, crackers, and sour cream. This will give you about 18 grams of fat, 40 grams of protein, and 60 grams of carbs (about 15 which are fiber). Anyway, this long reply was meant to convey the point of not to trust fast food companies even though they claim their meals are healthy. The best choice is to still bring your own food that's been cooked in advance! </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-62 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 08:24:37 +0000 joe 62@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Sigs are now activated!<br /> Edit your sig in your profile EDIT tab.<br /> 100 words maximum, 3 lines maximum. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=2#post-61 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:19:26 +0000 joe 61@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p><strong>bbcode lite now on Student Fitness Forum</strong></p> <p>Here's just a quick primer on bbcode:</p> <p><code>[b]bold[/b]</code> <strong>bold</strong><br /> <code>[color=red]red[/color]</code> <font color="red">red</font><br /> <code>[s]strikethrough[/s]</code> <strike>strikethrough</strike><br /> <code>[url]http://studentfitness.org[/url]</code> <a href="http://studentfitness.org">http://studentfitness.org</a><br /> <code>[url=http://bbShowcase.org]Student Fitness[/url]</code> <a href="http://bbShowcase.org">Student Fitness</a> </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=13#post-60 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:13:56 +0000 K.H 60@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>I have most of his books in pdf format.

For all high school. Then after highschool I gained mad weight at college my first year (which is why I started this site) and now I've lost 60 pounds since my biggest - october before last I was 235. Voila, stretch marks.</p> <p>Oh well, dosen't bother me none and dosen't bother ladies so I can live with them. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=7#post-53 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:52:04 +0000 mike2181 53@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>That breakdancer is AWESOME.

This is why even with weekly ups on the weight you are lifting, eventually you will plateau.</p> <p>To get around this it's important to rotate, and be bold about trying new stuff.</p> <p>For example: I'll do bench and flys for chest for a few weeks and then switch it up to something alittle different like drop sets on bench, or stick to decline/incline db press.</p> <p>You know, same muscles - different movement. I'm still learning too. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=4#post-47 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:35:10 +0000 joe 47@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>I've started to really believe in the core-training ability of pilates. Exercises like: the hundred, rollup, leg lifts, scissors, etc.</p> <p>Also, after getting use to the decline situp rack. I started doing it with a 25 plate held over my head. Then I moved up to a 45 and it was sick.</p> <p>THEN, I realized I was maximizing the weight of the plate. So I moved where I held the weight - instead of holding it out in front of my chest - I held it behind my head with my arms back behind it. It was insanely difficult this way, and I was unable to do any. Guess I have something to train up to... </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=3#post-46 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:31:02 +0000 joe 46@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Ditto on that Nibroc. Cold cut trio is my shit.</p> <p>My buddy use to work at subway and I told her that's what I get and she said it's one of the worst things on the menu. Eh.</p> <p>I just tell them "the works" and they throw everything they got on it. Then no condiment. It's awesome.</p> <p>Also, no cheese. It's tough - but only way I can convince myself it's decent enough nutrition-wise to eat. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=5#post-45 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:29:07 +0000 joe 45@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Interesting. I remember seeing a short video of that before also. It's insane fast twitch training. That's how everyone in the movie has ridiculous abs.</p> <p>That's cool you downloaded all of them. It seems like the type of thing that requires alot of time and alot of special equipment (correct me if I'm wrong).</p> <p>Do you have special equipment lemon? How long are your workouts when doing this kind of powerlifter/strongman type training? </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=5#post-44 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:58:12 +0000 Nibroc 44@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>How hard is the level one in the spartan workout? It's been a few weeks since my last workout and doing things like wide grip pull ups are impossible. I often struggle with chin-ups. My weight to strength ratio isn't what it should be. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=3#post-43 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:56:05 +0000 Nibroc 43@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Haha I usually get a 12 inch cold cut trio, everything except onions and olives, with mustard, mayo and pepper </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=4#post-42 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:54:01 +0000 Nibroc 42@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>If all you're worried about is being able to take punches, you might as well do some iron-shirt training. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=11#post-41 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:52:20 +0000 Nibroc 41@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>They're exactly what they sound like. Marks from your skin being stretched too much. They're common on people who go from not lifting to an intense hypotrophy workout, or Prego women. They're long strips of your skin where it appears as if blood vessles have burst. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=10#post-40 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:17:50 +0000 Lemon 40@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Yeah thats the idea behind that Spartan workout program. They alternate the exercises so your always doing different things and your building up strength/agility/stamina in all areas not just specific areas like if you were only doing regular pushups all the time. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=6#post-39 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:13:43 +0000 Lemon 39@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>My knees don't pop much but my ankles pop like mad when I rotate them. Yeah it might be genetic. I hear bones popping it a good thing. When they pop it means your decompressing them thats what an osteopath told me. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=5#post-38 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:10:52 +0000 Lemon 38@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>I downloaded the whole thing theres about 500 different exercises in there and they're all geared towards building up your strength, agility, stamina etc. none of that cosmetic bullshit. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=7#post-37 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:08:24 +0000 Lemon 37@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>I've never tried any crazy shit like that.

Maybe women think it looks good but I think guys with big muscly rib cages look like pricks. It might mean you can take punches to the ribs and get less hurt though. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=4#post-33 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:03:27 +0000 TheRippedOne 33@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>As Joe pointed out, this is merely for cosmetic reasons. So as with most ab workouts, there is no actual purpose to them other than simply looking better, these could help with a stronger core. However, for i strong core I suggest doing something on a ball or bosu. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=11#post-32 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:57:52 +0000 TheRippedOne 32@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>Based off what I've been told, stretch marks can only be permanently removed via surgery any other "cures" out there only help them fade. </p> http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/topic.php?id=7#post-31 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:58:32 +0000 Nibroc 31@http://www.studentfitness.org/forum/ <p>I doubt I'd be able to do them, not enough core.
